“Megan took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date, and left the house tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”
“My cat had a verh good time with Samantha. She took a very good care of him and by sending photos during her stay, I was all the time aware of my cat's health and happiness. Next time when I want to let my cat stay by someone, Samantha will be the first choice.”
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
“I couldn't be happier with Tisha! She stayed at my house and made sure my special-needs dogs got everything they needed when they needed it. We will definitely book her again!”
“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”
“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including both household pets and ranch animals. I’m currently a nursing student with a background in the medical field, which has taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to remain calm in stressful situations. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I’m currently a student and have classes Monday through Thursday from 12:00 PM to 1:40 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, over night and weekend bookings. I keep my calendar up to date and will always communicate promptly to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind, and I’ll always treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or overnight stay, you can count on me to provide dependable, compassionate care and plenty of attention for your pet.
“Our first time using Staphanie for our 4 furbabies. She was able to fit them in her busy weekend and care for all of their needs! Great communication! We enjoyed having her and will be using her in the future.”
“Margaret was awesome!! Skipper had a great time and was very well taken care of. We got updated throughout every day and she was super transparent and kind! We will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her!”
“Followed my instructions and showed great communication and updates! I could tell my pets were relaxed and taken care of when I came home!! I will definitely hire Karen again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
“Madalyn was fantastic! We only went out of town for the night but, it was our first time leaving our dog, Goose, alone in a long time. Her communication put us at ease as she sent frequent updates and pictures. She followed our instructions for Goose, gave him meds and went above and beyond cleaning dishes and doing laundry. We will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!
About: I’ve always grew up loving animals. I was 9 yrs old when my mom started to foster dogs! So I always helped her with them all the time. She is also a dog groomer back home so at her job i would always go and help in daycare and be around 20+ dogs every day and absolutely loved it!!!! I do have 2 dogs of my own. A lab/blue lacy. And a german shepherd. And also 2 cats! Im always home ! And love going and playing fetch or just laying around with my animals! I am currently not working so i can work around anyone’s schedule!! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard! Potty brakes will be 30mins to insure your puppers are going. outside playtime will be 30 mins with lots of water and playtime inside to insure they are in the cold!!
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and am able to help train dogs in being potty trained. I am extremely caring for dogs and enjoy learning how your pet experiences their own life! I’m currently not working so my full attention will be on your pet. I will take your dog out at least 3 times a day and can even take them to fun spots if allowed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Violet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 205 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Violet. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Violet walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Violet maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Violet choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Violet. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
